Belly full
We landed a 40 pound barracuda on our boat this morning. The thing was nasty and had been sniping our king mackerel. You would be fighting the mackerel and when all of a sudden it would get easier. Then, defeatedly, you would haul up half a fish. We were hoping, with our cuda safely on ice, we had eliminated the prime culprit, but the others took up the slack. We still got our limit, and caught a few other beautiful species. Miss you guys.
In this week’s Quick column, I wrote about a crazy picture of Michael Jackson that my sister had on her wall. Here is that picture. It still makes me insane.
Upside down celebrities makes me more insaner.
Some people bled for our freedom, so let’s bleed for them
One of the old standby forms of jack-ass entertainment is fake letter stuff. Ted L. Nancy. The Lazlo Letters, etc. (Sheepish admission: I’ve been known to go to that well myself. Read Quick.) But here is a guy resurrecting it in the digital age. Funny stuff. Enjoy!
What part of Bachman lake is that?

That looks like a little boat to go out for big fish! Where was this expedition?
I used to live in Daytona Beach and we would go deep sea fishing a couple times a year. We would go about 18 miles off the coast and the fishing was great.
We would catch ‘chicken’ (red snapper that weigh over 5lbs) and just when you get them to the boat, barracuda would snap everything off but the head.
My uncle actually had one eat the entire fish and get hooked himself. That one is hanging in a police station lobby in Illinois.
Good fun!
your article in quick touched me in a special way
and i don’t mean the jacko way.
good stuff, gord-on.
My Great-Uncle Jerry, caught a 6′ 1″ 140 Lb Tarpon off of the old quarter-mile wooden pier at Port Aransas Park back in the ancient 1960’s. You don’t see them that big much anymore.
Anyway, Happy 4th everyone! Now let’s go blow some sh*t up!
Is that Nestor holding that fish? Has it all been one big publicity stunt?
I’m a car nerd and fairly young. I have a few toys and hate the image it carries because people always ask if it’s an early mid-life or how much ‘nookie’ I’m trying to pick up. One thing I learned early, cars do not get you any nookie, personality wins every time. I simply love to road race and actually use the cars to participate in events that the cars were built to compete in. Gordo, come out to Cars and Coffe on the last Saturday of every month at Classic BMW. There was a $1.5mm Veyron out there. I’m sure Jub could buy it.
Happy Fourth of July Ticketheads.
Did any of you people go to the Cotton Bowl to see the Fireworks?
Gordo, it was a true cluster f*&k.
The traffic cops did’t know what to do. It took 45 minutes to get in and park.
Then inside the CB the stage and PA was pointed to the endzone when the majority of the people were on the pressbox side and we couldn’t hear a damn thing.
Then the Fireworks went off and the new Diamond Vision screen block 25 percent of the FW show.
But the abundance of cleavage made up for it.
Happy 233 America. You don’t look a day over 150.
“ever catch an alligator gar” … is what comes to mind
Had a decent board op been working this morning, we would have heard Heart’s “Barracuda” playing while Gordo was telling the story. Pop on Jer. Ja needs ya.
Bagelheads? Those are Clingons!
Star Trek really is the future!
I’m learning the Schwartz!
sanchez:
The Cotton Bowl’s still around? Seriously?

A guy in Virginia is selling his schweeeeeet Mustang in order to finance one more vacation with his dying wife. I know a good friend of his, and this is not a hoax.
Greatest first-sentence in a mainstream newspaper story, ever:

“An eccentric mother who was once so captivated by a mass murderer that she offered to star in pornographic films for him and give him the money took the stand in a Martinez courtroom Thursday to tell a jury about how she provided a false alibi and hid evidence in a quintuple homicide.”
What happened to there’s nothing wrong with Jessica Tuesday?
